I have never used a reading journal before. I am finding it fun to use. There is still a bit of an adjustment in the beginning. I also really like the extra activities.

A nice reading journal and it ok. But didnt like printing out alot of pages. Havent hardly used the journal

The layout is very helpful in intuitive, and it also helps with using the journal. It was very easy to navigate and to understand.

I love this Journal. I tried following the steps to use another app to try to use it digitally, but sadly that didn’t work out for me. Printing works for me though. I love all the options included for how to track your reading. It’s fun without being overwhelming.

4⭐️s out 5. 😁👍

⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3 stars)

A simple and helpful journal for keeping track of ARCs and reviews. The layout is clean and easy to use, which makes it great for staying organized.

I just wish it had a bit more personality—maybe some fun prompts or extra features to make it more engaging. Overall, a solid tool if you want something basic and functional.

I liked how this journal was set up. I loved that it was completely blank with no dates, so I can pick and use it no matter what the time of year is. My favorite aspects include the section that is for audiobook ratings, the ability to add photos, and the challenges in the back, including the A-Z challenge. Overall, I would use this and recommend it to others.

Thank you netgalley for the reading journal, this comes in handy to track my books on my Ipad. Its super cute and aesthetically pleasing.

What a unique and interesting reading journal. I thought this was a great idea and nice touch for NetGalley to provide to their reviewers. It is not something I have particularly seeked out for myself in the past, but I do think a lot of people would get great use out of this!

NetGalley’s Reading Journal is like a magic carpet ride for bookworms and literary crusaders! As a book-loving aficionado, I find this artfully crafted journal to be a treasure trove of inspiration, a testament to NetGalley’s unwavering devotion to readers, writers, and the grand quest for literacy.

This journal is the Swiss Army knife for book buffs everywhere. Available as a complimentary downloadable PDF, it’s the perfect sidekick for those with a mission to conquer their reading goals with glee and gusto throughout the year.

What makes this journal pop is its chameleon-like adaptability. With pages you can customize, delightful reading challenges, monthly check-ins, and a habit tracker, it covers every corner of a reader’s adventure. The attention to detail is so on point, it’s like having a personal librarian organizing your literary escapades!

Plus, NetGalley’s Reading Journal not only nudges you to reflect on your reading adventures but also builds a book-loving tribe. It’s proof of NetGalley’s commitment to crafting a space where bibliophiles can connect, share, and revel in their love for the written word.

In a nutshell, the NetGalley Reading Journal is a five-star fiesta of literary joy, blending practicality with pizazz. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to level up their reading game, making it more significant, tidy, and downright enjoyable. Hats off to NetGalley and the We Are Bookish team for this brilliant gift to the reading universe!

Okay, I have to say—I didn’t realize how much I needed the NetGalley Reading Journal until I started using it. As someone who reads a lot of ARCs and tries to stay organized with reviews and deadlines, this journal has been a total game changer for me.

First of all, it’s beautiful. The layout is clean, simple, and not at all overwhelming. I’ve tried other reading journals before that felt too fussy or too vague—this one strikes the perfect balance. I especially love the space to track what I’ve requested, what I’ve been approved for, and when books are releasing. It keeps everything in one place, which has made it way easier to stay on top of my NetGalley queue.

One of my favorite parts? The review pages. There’s plenty of space to jot down initial thoughts, reactions, standout quotes, and even just messy notes before I write a full review. It makes the whole process feel more enjoyable (and less like homework). Plus, the checkboxes for “review submitted” are super satisfying. 😂

I’ve also started using the monthly wrap-up pages, which I didn’t expect to love—but they’ve turned into a little ritual for me. It’s nice to pause and reflect on what I’ve read, what stood out, and what I want to prioritize next month.

If you're a fellow mood reader or ARC reviewer who sometimes gets overwhelmed by tracking it all, I really recommend giving this a try. It's made reviewing feel more personal and less stressful—and honestly, it’s kind of reignited my love for reviewing.

I love the concept. I had to take my time figuring out how to use it and it's probably the device I am using that's not a great match for the journal so printed version is the only option for me.

This reading journal is perfect for keeping track of your reads! Because it’s a pdf, you can use it over and over again. Perfect for those looking to use a digital or printed reading journal.

I like this, although I don't find the pdf accessible or easy to use without having a printer available.

I really enjoyed using it on my iPad! Loved the Activities pages and Best of the Year brackets. Navigation is really easy to use, and you can use it in whatever year as it's not dated.

This is pretty awesome!! It is a great digital option for notetaking in your reading habits, which makes sense for something like NetGalley.

Beautiful journal, I love that it is customizable and at a first glance it fits all my needs.

The color scheme is so pretty, the layout and design is perfect for bookworms like myself. I'm gonna use this for more than just books on NetGalley! So I might need some more pages per month, but that's easy to do.

Thank you for making this journal available!

I didn't end up using this as much as I thought I would. It was nicely organized by complicated to use if I tried it on anything other than a computer.

I found the NetGalley Reading Journal incredibly useful and enjoyable! It helped me stay organized with my reading goals, track my habits, and write thoughtful reviews. The customizable pages and fun stickers made the whole experience engaging and motivating. A fantastic tool for any book lover looking to deepen their reading journey!

A clean, practical reading journal perfect for tracking ARCs and pretending you’re more organized than you are. The layout is simple and useful, with enough space to jot down thoughts.

This journal is lovely! It has most of the main fields I track for my reading. I'm not sure if I'll keep up with it (but that's on me).
